Ekosistem yang Diyakini dan Dijamin Selamat': Pendorong Perniagaan, Perisai Keselamatan bagi Mengatasi Cabaran Siber Pelbagai Dimensi
IPOH, PERAK DARUL RIDZUAN (12 November 2014) - Serangan siber kini semakin kerap, meluas dan lebih berkesan. Serangan siber mengurangkan ketersediaan pertukaran maklumat dan mencacatkan kemampuan lingkungan maklumat untuk menyokong proses perniagaan yang berkesan dan cekap. Persekitaran yang tidak selamat menyebabkan seluruh ekosistem menjadi rapuh.
Justeru, kita memerlukan ‘ekosistem yang diyakini dan dijamin selamat’ untuk: mendorong pertumbuhan e-perniagaan, menjadi benteng dari cabaran keselamatan siber pelbagai dimensi, sama ada ancaman sedia ada mahupun yang akan datang, meningkatkan kebolehpercayaan dan ketahanan infrastruktur penting, menjamin privasi, proses perniagaan dan misi kerajaan dengan lebih berkesan. Ekosistem siber yang sihat akan saling beroperasi secara meluas, bekerjasama dengan lebih efektif dalam persekitaran yang teragih, bertindak balas dengan baik, dan berupaya untuk pulih dengan cepat.
"Ekosistem Yang Diyakini dan Dijamin Selamat" adalah tema bagi acara tahunan Keselamatan Siber Malaysia - Anugerah, Persidangan dan Pameran 2014 (#CSMACE14) yang dianjurkan oleh CyberSecurity Malaysia dengan kerjasama Kerajaan Negeri Perak.

‘Trusted & Secured Eco System’ Promotes E-Businesses
and Mitigates Multi-Dimensional Cyber Security Challenges
IPOH, PERAK DARUL RIDZUAN (12 November 2014) – Cyber-attacks have become more frequent, more widespread, and more consequential. Cyber-attacks reduce the availability of information exchange and impair the ability of the information environment to support effective and efficient business processes. An insecure environment weakens the cyber ecosystem.
We need a ‘trusted and secured ecosystem’ to promote e-businesses and mitigate multi-dimensional cyber security challenges - known and emerging threats; thereby improving the reliability and resiliency of critical infrastructures and better assure privacy, business processes and government missions. A healthy cyber ecosystem would interoperate broadly, collaborate effectively in a distributed environment, respond with agility, and recover rapidly.
“Trusted and Secured Ecosystem” is the theme of the Cyber Security Malaysia - Awards, Conference and Exhibition 2014 (#CSMACE14), organized by CyberSecurity Malaysia from 11 to 15 November 2014 in partnership with Perak State Government. The event is held at the Casuarina@Meru Hotel in Ipoh, Perak.
